I have a 55g tank with 48" 4 VHO's at 440W. I want to know what some good corals would be to add. I don't plan on putting them in for about 2 months after the tank cycles. Does that sound good. I know I'm going to get a lot of different responses and thats fine. Just what do YOU think would be good. Also when do you think a good time to start adding them would be, and how far in between each addition should I wait?

I was running the same lights when I first started on a 72. I basically kept everything, just be careful of placement. You could start with some easier stuff: zoos, shrooms, leathers, etc. and work your way up from there. BTW---I ended up with 2 250W Iwasakis, using 2 of the 110's for VHO.;)

A lot of my friends say to just go with MH but thats another 250 dollars almost. I rather spend money on other things. I'm getting my lights from www.hellolights.com and I think the package was 250 for 48" VHO's putting out 440w. Does anyone else know where I can get good cheap lights from a reliable source that will work well?
